To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ARNOLD STERN, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Hollis in the county. of Queens and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Embroideryl dounts, of which the following is a, specification.

This invention relates to embroidery emblems, like initial letters, monograms, etc., such as are applied to articles of Wearing ap parel, house linen and the like, to serve as distinguishing marks thereon, and for ornamentation, and my improvement comprises means whereby embroidery devices of this character may be provided with a form maintaining and su 'iporting structure which will not obscure the color or patter-not or borne by the garment or article upon which the emblem is tc be mounted.

The practice in vogue for the application of nmnutactured embroidery emblems upon linen and other Washable garments and articles has consisted in the employment of a patch of opaque material having embroidered thereon an initial and an inclosingr circle. These patches are unsightly and clearly indicate that the embroidered emblem is a.

manufactured article, not hand worked upon the goods. Hence it is the purpose of my invention to employ as the base for the em-- broidery a material which, while pcrma nently serving to maintain the form of the emblem, is transparent or translucent, and therefore will not hide or obscure the pattern and color of the goods upon which said base is mounted in the application thereto of the emblem as a distinguishing mark.

in the drawing:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a portion of a shirt sleeve having applied thereto one of my improved embroidered emblems. Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1, and

Fig. 3 is an enlarged plan View of the device.

In the example of my invention illustrated herewith, I have shown it as comprising a permanent base or mount 1 composed of a diaphanous material. like silk chiiton. gauze, or other open Work fabric, through which the light may penetrate, so that when said base is applied in superposed relation Wltililfured or colored goods, the latter may not obscured thereby, but instead will be exposed to view through the meshes of said open work fabric. The said base It bears embroidered thereon an emblem or design 2, here indicated in the example as the initial letter S, and the base is surrounded by an embroidery border 3, which both stiti'ens said base and binds its edge against disintegration.

The base is attached to the goods, as the shirt sleeve 4, by stitching: the border 3 thereto, for which purpose thread of the same color as the border is employed, and, by a process of overstitching, as at 5, not only will the attaching stitches be indistinguishable from the embroidered border, but thereby the depth of embroidery of said border may be increased at will.

1. An embroidery patch consisting of a permanent, form maintaining base of diapha-- nous material, for non-obscuring superposition upon a textile article, said base bearing an embroidered emblem, and an edge bindint, embroidered border for said patch.

2. Aneinbroidery patch consisting" of permanent, form mamtainingbase of diephanous material, for non-obscuring superposition upon a textile article, said base having a synunetrical outline bounded by an edge binding embroidered border, and an einhroidered emblem worked centrally upon said base.

3. The combination, with a patterned terrtile article, of a. distinguishing patch sewn thereto. said patch comprising a base of diaphanous material. throuqh which the pattern of the article is visible, the outline 0t said base being bounded by an edge binding, eml'n'oidered border, and an embroidered emblem worked upon said base.

Signed at borough of hlanhattan, in the city. county and State of New York, this 7th day of February, A, l). 1917.
